Context — Jethro Advises Moses
18Surely you and these people with you will wear yourselves out, because the task is too heavy for you. You cannot handle it alone.
19Now listen to me; I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their causes to Him.
20Teach them the statutes and laws, and show them the way to live and the work they must do.
21Furthermore, select capable men from among the people—God-fearing, trustworthy men who are averse to dishonest gain. Appoint them over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. 22Have these men judge the people at all times. Then they can bring you any major issue, but all minor cases they can judge on their own, so that your load may be lightened as they share it with you.Cross References

Exodus 18:20 Summary
[Exodus 18:20 is a reminder that teaching and guiding others is an important part of our role as followers of God. This means sharing what we know about God's laws and principles, and helping others understand how to apply them to their lives, just as God taught the Israelites through Moses (Deuteronomy 4:1-2). By doing so, we can help others live a life that is pleasing to God and fulfill their purpose, as encouraged in Ephesians 2:10. As we seek to teach and guide others, we must also remember to trust God for guidance and wisdom, and to seek His wisdom in all areas of our lives, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6.]

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 18:20
Thou alone shalt deliver and explain God’ s law to them, which they may apply to their particular causes and occasions, and so end their differences among themselves without giving thee any trouble.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 18:20
Exodus 18:20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.Ver. 20. And thou shalt teach them ordinances.] This alone will be work enough for thee, if done as it ought to be. And shalt show them the way wherein they must walk.] The Chaldee Paraphrast hath it thus, And shalt show them the prayer which they shall pray in their synagogues.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 18:20
Verse 20. Thou shalt teach them ordinances] חקים chukkim, all such precepts as relate to the ceremonies of religion and political economy. And laws, התורת hattoroth, the instructions relative to the whole system of morality. And shalt show them the way] אה הדרך eth hadderech, THAT very WAY, that only way, which God himself has revealed, and in which they should walk in order to please him, and get their souls everlastingly saved. And the work that they must do.] For it was not sufficient that they should know their duty both to God and man, but they must DO it too; יעשון yaasun, they must do it diligently, fervently, effectually; for the paragogic nun deepens and extends the meaning of the verb. What a very comprehensive form of a preacher's duty does this verse exhibit! 1. He must instruct the people in the nature, use, and importance of the ordinances of religion. 2. He must lay before them the whole moral law, and their obligations to fulfill all its precepts. 3. He must point out to each his particular duty, and what is expected of him in his situation, connections, c. And, 4.
He must set them all their work, and see that they do it. On such a plan as this he will have full opportunity to show the people, 1. Their sin, ignorance, and folly 2. The pure and holy law which they have broken, and by which they are condemned; 3. The grace of God that bringeth salvation, by which they are to be justified and finally saved; and, 4. The necessity of showing their faith by their works; not only denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, but living soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world, looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
